My husband had cancer in left jaw. He had reconstructive surgery on 3/12/2009 and then raditation and chemo. He has been on a feeding tube since that date and has not been able to swallow at all He has had (2) dialations and is currently seeing a speech pathologist but nothing seems to be working. I feed him every 2 hours 5 times a day. His left side has been affected and he cannot hold the feeding tube to feed himself. He also is still having trouble spitting up the thick stuff that gags him. He is getting despondent and I don't know what to do to help him.
